MS (Hodges- Johnson) to accept the architect's city hall alteration plans
as presented.
Councilman Baumgartner did not feel four feet would gain that much for the
price. If in the future this is needed, it could be budgeted. He was in
favor of the other items.
Councilman Hodges felt it would be more economical to change plans now.
Councilman Pickar wondered why this was never mentioned before.
Administrator Achen said in terms of budget we would be running tight but
in terms of necessity it will cost more in the future. This will open it
up and take advantage of space that would otherwise be wasted.
Councilman Shelquist was bothered that the wall had to be moved at such a
late date but to move the wall and use the wasted space would be a signifi-
cant improvement in the police wing.
